Can anyone recommend a bike lift for X1- front and/or rear? I've never used one but would like to an I don't know much about them... Not a jack mechanism, but the wheeled lever variety of jack stand.

Love my LP USA stuff

these pics are borrowed from the LP site only for informational purposes.


and if memory serves me...Buell part number B-41174 was the LP swingarm lift.

Also have a set of the Bob Dron triangles for cleaning and transport duty.

Pit Bull has good stuff also.

I use a lift like this and it works great. $95 is a good price on this.

I just ordered a universal stand combo from Handy Industries for $99.00 (front and rear).
Thanks for your input.

What do you jack it up if you intend to replace the neck bearings?

You use a little bottle jack under the front shock mount to get the front end up. It's scary having both wheels off, though. When I have to have both wheels off at the same time, I'll lift the bike with my engine hoist. That way I can still move the bike in my small garage.

Here is my stand with the front off the ground with a cherry picker's assistance.

(It's probably even more amazing that I got the whole bike back together!)
